, CHEM CAD, SuperPro orothers in Process flow sheet simulation, Properties estimation, Equipment sizing, Process

optimization, Process synthesis.

Course Objectives

1. To obtain a feel of what chemical engineers do.

2. To introduce use of spreadsheets in chemical engineering calculations and problemsolving

3. To apply commercial chemical simulators to the design, simulations and optimization of process equipments and chemical plants.

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:

1. Apply spreadsheet to solve common chemical engineering problems.

2. Apply process simulators for properties estimation for process design.

3. Design basic units operations using Aspen PlusTM

4. Design and simulate chemical processes using Aspen PlusTM

5. Carry out economic analysis of a chemical process using Aspen Plus

TM.

6. Communicate via class participation, written reports and oral presentations.

Final Examination

Evaluation

The final marks will be calculated as follows:

Components Grade percentage

Reports 60%

Final Examination 40%

Total 100%

Final examination will be open book, open notes, and closed internet.

Problems sets and written report should not be turned in after the due dates (late) unlessarrangements are made with me. Otherwise, there is a 20% penalty.




Attendance

Any student who, in the opinion of the instructor, is absent too frequently from class in this

course, will be reported to the coordinator, after due warning has been given. Reports of studentswho does not attend the class will not be accepted. On the recommendation of the Department

concerned, and with permission of the coordinator, appropriate action will be taken, with the

possibility of course failure.

Sickness and Other Problems

Students should immediately consult with the instructor if they have problems that could affect

their performance in the course. The student should seek advice from the Instructor regarding

how best to deal with the problem. Failure to notify the Instructor or the coordinator immediately

(or as soon as possible thereafter) will have a negative effect on any appeal.

Notice

Students are responsible for regularly checking their KFU email and notices posted on their

Instructor’s door and blackboard.

Good Luck
